other-line linked haiku    october 1981-march 1985


our yard our neighbor's yard


norma's shop
going out of business
autumn dusk

new calendar
which nights alone

men i guess
are basically honest
she says undressing

they've split up
each throwing a party

the talk of laying-off
haunts
the talk of laying-off

in her song
summer solstice

first frost
another variation
on the porn marquee

people living
in cardboard boxes

lied to
this time
nicaragua

terrorist
that's what i want
to be called

hertha, ertha, strenia
santa
was a woman

the sponge
kick another researcher in the ass
the world still flat

new year's day a bomb
rips apart an abortion clinic

our kids' future
mutual assured destruction
